Why Lupus Is Mistaken for Spiritual Attack in Nigeria

In many Nigerian homes, a mystery illness is quickly labeled as a spiritual problem.

Lupus presents in strange ways:
• Body pain that moves from place to place
• Hair falling out
• Rashes that don’t go away
• Sudden seizures or fainting
• Multiple hospital visits without answers

When doctors struggle to diagnose it, families assume it’s from “the village.” But the truth is—Lupus is medical, not mystical.

Let’s normalize seeking proper diagnosis and stop shaming people living with real conditions.
